w/ Black Keys. This is one of those shows where you wonder if the headliner hasn’t been eclipsed by their opening act. Not only do The Black Keys have more friends on Myspace, they put on one of the most blistering shows out there. The duo plays blues influenced rock similar to that of The White Stripes. Look for My Morning Jacket to bring their A game with this opener.

w/Ghost Buffalo. Slim may have moved away from Denver, but he manages to bring his dark, American roots music back to town every so often. To see this band live is a terrifying, yet almost religious experience. The sound of violins, steel guitar, and Slim’s unique voice blasts over you like a wave filled with sand. It’s refreshing, it makes you feel clean yet sticky, and it kind of hurts.
